Isn't it funny how we all adore a little Robin Red Breast, even though he is an absolute thug and a terroriser of all the other birds. So cute though, I love them too, always happy to see them in my garden.

Thanks folks ...
The robin posed nicely for me, making it easier to take the pic. I've never before had the opportunity to photograph a robin close up, so I was thrilled when this perky little bird perched on one of my rocks.

Hi TT...don't they just love the Gardener, always know when we're about to dig or change things, lots of goodies for them...Brilliant shot by the way, and I agree it would make an excellent Xmas card....

lol normally, within two days of the snow clearing away, someone round here is bound to complain about the heat! Of course, too much of anything isn't necessarily good for one, but I can take a lot of the current weather.

They have started to sing for their territories around here and first thing in the morning sounds lovely. About seven I opened the curtains to see a large flock of geese flying low calling to each other flying over our bungalow....super!

Wonderful sunny, autumn days digging over the moist soil, with the liquid golden song of a robin from the nearby tree. For me, 100% total contentment. I think he has the best song of any bird, nightingale included.

I can hardly believe this. When I wrote my last comment, I was thinking back to days in our UK garden more than 6 years ago now. We rarely see robins here - mostly due to the cats, I expect, and the fact that this is agricultural land round here with few gardens. It made me terribly nostalgic. Yesterday afternoon - a gorgeous, woodsmokey, golden day, I was digging over the rockery where I have been tearing out vinca roots, and I thought I was hearing things: a robin's song - liquid gold. I couldn't see him for some time, and then, there he was, high in the cherry tree. We stood still for some minutes, then down he came and continued to sing for a full five minutes maybe two yards away from me. Eventually I had to leave, I was crying so much. Coincidence? Do robins read blogs?

That was so lovely Gattina, brought tears to my eyes too.. We've just started to get an assortment of Birds including Robins visiting our garden, and what a welcome sight they are....
Hi Terra, you have a little friend there...:)))
